Vine Deloria Jr., author of Custer Died for Your
Sins, is remembered as a witty, impassioned and
iconoclastic writer, historian, and teacher, who fought for Indian
peoples and their right to self-determination

1950s, ended in the 1970s when its environmental impacts became
clear, but if Bush's energy policy spawns a Big Buildup II, the
Plateau may never recover.

The greatest moments in American conservation history
often involved the same presidential audacity - and provoked the
same outrage - as President Clinton's establishment of the Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
